 Forum: AMD Eyefinity Discussions   Topic: The Asus HD7970-DC2-3GD5 and MSI R7970 Lightning; the solution for tearing in the 79XX family

12.5 Pre worked for me for a while, then one day they started causing Mass Effect 3 to crash (hard lock) without reason or justification, even after a clean restart. I'm betting that this is a case of the drivers work when they want to work :P I swear AMD has to have something they can't understand ...

Are you using active displayport adapters for all three? What brand and type? Have you tried swapping them around to see if the tearing is perhaps adapter related?

P.S. Catalyst 12.4 final seems to be working for me now (knock on wood) and it is actually throttling RAM speeds down properly.

FRAPS should have an impact on performance, but that is just because it needs resources to do what it does. Have you opened Overdrive on the card and checked to see if the 3D clock is properly set at 925 MHz?

Here is the conclusion to this harrowing experience.... If using Intel RAID (latest version, which I am) on Windows 7 64-bit SP1 (all updates applied) and the Catalyst 12.3 drivers, using my middle monitor (the 1080p Samsung, doesn't matter what DisplayPort port it is connected to OR if it is connec...

Found the issue. Once the Intel Management Interface driver is installed, having any AMD DisplayPort Audio outputs enabled will cause BF3 to crash (confirmed with Catalyst 12.3, no CAP). It also looks like the Intel Rapid Storage drivers don't play nice with BF3 either, when I moved back to my origi...

Hi Moose, I've system restored back to the first driver install on my system to see if I can save time. I've installed necessary drivers without additional hardware (no sound enabled, no additional SATA controllers, no USB3, no Firewire, no Bluetooth). I only have the Intel INF and Intel RAID driver...

Well, the drivers worked great for 3Dmark11, however running BF3 hard locked the system (testing remotely... So, can't really do much till I'm back in front of the comp). I manually removed any trace of the previous drivers, then installed the new ones (yeah, not ideal, but I'm impatient). Funny eno...

Thanks Moose, I'll be giving that a shot before I start disabling more hardware. Did you have GPU Tweak installed while you were testing out your DC2T?

Thanks!

So I'm hoping the gurus here can possibly help me with my DC2T which has been heartache and heartbreak. My system specs are in my sig. I've tested different driver revisions, disabled PowerPlay, disabled ULPS, tried slightly increasing the voltage to see if that stabilized it, upgraded my PSU, remov...

Thanks everyone for your input. My F2380 doesn't do scaling very well. It's got really good contrast, but other aspects are rather... not as nice. Things look pretty blurry when it is running at 1680x1050. I only found after a few days of digging that the new bezel compensation didn't really do what...

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping the gurus here may be able to help me out. I just got myself a Radeon 7970 (ASUS DirectCUII 7970TOP) and have got it connected to my 2x Dell 2007WFP (20", 1680x1050) and my single Samsung SyncMaster F2380(23" 1920x1080). The Samsung is set up in the middle, as per the diagram...
